Chapter 999: The Crowd of Prisoners of War
The anger of his obsessiveness seemed to disappear all at once, and he said with a surprising calmness: "I can put a mudra on the sheepskin, but only if you save the Khan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Kang Sumi shook his head, "There is no way to save him!" β
Stubbornly unable to think of a sudden rage, he grabbed Kang Sumi's collar again and shouted: "It's you who poisoned, you have an antidote to save him!" β
At this moment, two of the Khan's guards rushed over and cried at the door: "General, the Khan has vomited blood, and he has ..... I'm dying! β
Unable to think about it, his eyes were dark, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell to the ground, Kang Sumi took the opportunity to break free from his hand, knocked the branch around and knocked a large hole, and ran away.
He kicked the door open and strode out, and when he saw that the two guards were about to chase after him, he shouted, "Get out of the way!" β
The two guards hurriedly dodged, and the dagger in the hand of the lost mind came out, drawing a cold light, and just as Kang Sumi was about to run into the woods, the dagger shot through the back of his neck, piercing his neck, and Kang Sumi fell to the ground, curled up in a ball.
He strode forward, slashed off his head with a knife, raised his head to the sky and roared, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
At this moment, a soldier rushed and shouted: "General, we are surrounded!" β
Standing up, he saw the Sui cavalry appear in all directions, and his subordinates were terrified and gathered here, at this time, a Sui general shouted: "I am Luo Cheng, the general of the Northern Sui Dynasty, and you have been surrounded by heavy troops, surrender and do not kill, otherwise this is where you will die." β
The Turkic cavalry drew their swords one after another, and looked at Zhiqi Sili together, and Zhiqi waved his hand, "You put down your sword!" β
He sighed, stepped forward and said in fluent Chinese: "I can surrender, I just ask General Luo to give me a little time and let me explain a few words." β
Luo Cheng was ordered by Lieutenant Chi Gong to go south to search for the whereabouts of the Turkic Khan, just now he received news from several scouts that there was a Turkic cavalry hidden in this forest, and he led 5,000 cavalry to surround it from all sides, and sure enough, he found a thousand Turkic troops hidden in the depths of the dense forest.
Luo Cheng immediately looked at the Turkic general in front of him, who spoke Chinese very fluently, and saw that his face was full of tears, he was carrying a human head in his hand, covered in blood, and there was a corpse under his feet.
Luo Cheng glanced at his lieutenant general, who nodded to him, indicating that the army had surrounded this forest, and the Turkic army could not escape.
Luo Cheng said loudly: "Give you half a pillar of incense time!" β
Lost Sili immediately came to the shack where the Khan lived, and the Khan had vomited blood and died, and a hundred guards knelt around and wept bitterly, and Lost Sili put his head beside the Khan, and couldn't help but kneel down and cry again.
After a moment, he wiped away his tears, got up and gathered everyone to his side, and said to them in a loud voice: "We have no choice, if we surrender to the Sui army, maybe we still have a chance to return to our hometown, if we don't surrender, there is only one death." β
There are almost more than 900 people on the left side of Zhiluo Sili are his clansmen, they will not have their own ideas, following the chief is their only choice, and Zhiwu Sili himself knows very well that these words are actually to the more than 100 personal soldiers of Chuluo Khan, let them make their own decisions.
"If you want to follow me, then please stand on my left!" β
More than 100 Khans and Khan's guards wept, and they successively stood to the left of the obsessed and lost power, and all of them were willing to surrender.
Stubbornness let out a long sigh, "Put down your weapons and go out!" β
More than 1,000 Turkic soldiers gave up their horses, put down their weapons, took off their armor, and marched out of the forest. β
Luo Cheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Send an eagle letter quickly to report to the marshal!" β
............
At this time, Zhang Xuan had already led a large army into Jingle County, Jingle County is the county of Lou Fan County, the original residents of more than 100,000 people, all the residents regardless of old and young all avoided the war and went to Hebei, the whole county is an empty city, except for the houses and some bulky furniture items that are difficult to take away, basically all the soft and grain have been taken away.
Although the Sui army was stationed in Jingle County, the soldiers were not stationed in the city, but set up a large camp covering an area of thousands of acres outside the city, where 100,000 troops were stationed.
In the past two days, the Sui army was extremely busy, and after cleaning up the battlefield, they immediately counted the spoils, and the 20,000 Tang troops were also ready to return to Taiyuan.
The Tang army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in this battle, and also paid a heavy price, and at the same time, this army also formed a deep friendship with the Sui army, thinking that they would meet on the battlefield in the future, everyone was a little sad in their hearts, but the reality was so cruel, Wang Junkuo could not lead the army to surrender to the Northern Sui, he had to lead the army back to Taiyuan City.
"It is my honor to be able to fight with His Royal Highness this time, His Royal Highness's guidance, Jun Kuo has gained a lot, I hereby take my leave, I hope Your Highness takes care!"
Xie Yingdeng was a little worried, he didn't say a word, and bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan nodded slightly and said: "This time to destroy the Turkic army, the Tang army paid a huge price, and the two generals are even more indispensable, I will personally write a letter to the Tang Dynasty Emperor, asking him to give the two generals a commendation, and the fallen soldiers also ask the Tang Dynasty to give generous compensation, and the division of the spoils obtained, I will send someone to Taiyuan to discuss with Prince Jiancheng specifically, I will not embarrass the two generals." β
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern and understanding, we will have a meeting later!"
After speaking, Wang Junkuo turned the horse's head and galloped away, Xie Yingdeng also saluted Zhang Xuan, turned the horse's head and chased after him.
The two led the army to the south, and gradually walked away.
At this time, Fang Xuanling slowly stepped forward and said with a smile: "They can be highly praised here by His Royal Highness, but I am afraid they will not be in the Tang Dynasty." β
Zhang Xuan understood the deep meaning of Fang Xuanling's words, and said lightly: "Li Yuan doesn't admit it, it doesn't mean that people in the world don't recognize it, and justice is in the hearts of the people." β
At this time, a messenger rushed to the scene and shouted: "Marshal Qiqi, the Turkic Khan has been captured by General Luo." β
The tense heart in Zhang Xuan's heart was finally relieved, and Chu Luo Khan was caught, which meant that the Turkic southern invasion finally came to an end.
.........
Luo Cheng rushed to Jingle County at dusk, and to Zhang Xuan's expectation, Luo Khan was not captured alive, but had died of illness, and Luo Cheng brought back his body.
They chose to surrender, and surrender is divided into two situations, one is to raise their hands to surrender after being surrounded or there is no way back, this surrender is actually captured, and the rules of the Sui army are that those who resist are killed regardless of the situation, and there is no exhaustion to be captured.
The other is to escape from the battlefield and take the initiative to come to the Sui army camp to surrender, this is the real sense of surrender, it has a little surrender nature, so there will be a little preferential treatment, there are many such Turkic soldiers, they are the Turkic soldiers who escaped under the cover of heavy rain last night, and took the initiative to surrender to the Sui and Tang Dynasties the next day, a total of more than 3,000 people, of course, the reason why they really came to surrender was that the food was cut off, and they had to come back to surrender.
In this battle, nearly 30,000 Turkic soldiers were captured, including Mayi County, and two commanders were captured, one was Wen Mutie and the other was stubborn.
According to the custom, the chiefs of the Turkic tribes need to take out cattle, sheep or other materials to ransom these tribesmen, such as Han slaves taken by the Turks, etc., if there is no ransom, these prisoners of war will be released back to the steppe after serving five years of hard labor in the Great Sui Mine, and the soldiers who surrender voluntarily only need to serve two years of hard labor before being released, which is a little preferential treatment for surrendering.
Zhang Xuan came to a big tent, and there was a person sitting in the big tent, who was the commander of Wanshu who was captured by Luo Cheng.
The obsession is slightly different, he is the chief of the detachment, and the detachment is distributed in the southern part of the Yinshan Mountains, is a large tribe of the Turks, another reason is that this detachment has become a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in history, leading the army to defeat the Tuyuhun, Tubo, Xue Yantuo and other armies, and has made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Xuan knew this, so he was also quite interested in this stubborn thinking, not all Turkic tribes were enemies, as long as the strategy was used properly, some Turkic tribes would also become the help of Northern Sui.
"The handsome man has arrived!"
With the soldiers' shouts, Zhang Xuan opened the curtain and walked into the big tent quickly, and the stubborn thinking force that was sitting in the big tent immediately stood up and bowed, "See His Royal Highness King Qi!" (To be continued.) )
